The Disney College Program lasts for several months and up to one year. But for some reason, there seems to never be enough time to do what you want during the program. You work a lot, you might be taking classes, and you have other general and personal responsibilities. All of those take time.
In order to maximize the free time you do have, I have found it to be useful to make a DCP Bucket List. Then you can better keep yourself on track to do the things you want to do during the program. Today I have written out my ultimate DCP bucket list. You can either use it as your own bucket list or, at the very least, you can pull ideas from this list to add to your own list!

I think it’s really important to take advantage of the perks you get as a Disney World Cast Member. Check out my blog post that outlines and explains a ton of those perks.
